Dayna+Paul = Stella! It is such a privilege to see couples get married…..it is even more of a thrill to see them become parents. Dayna and Paul have an adorable daughter-Stella…from her shrieks to her growls she is continually charming! What a personality she has! Can you see the sparkle in her eye? What a doll!

What could be better then a wedding on a yacht in Morro Bay? If you meet Katie and Paul you will know! I am so lucky to have been selected to be a part of their wedding day! Katie and Paul ooze joy and love for each other making them super fun to photograph! Paul is the love of Katie’s life…it shows! Katie and Paul were surrounded by friends and family on Papagallo 2 in Morro Bay what a perfect setting! It is soo hard to choose favs from this one:

Kristin and Chris tied the knot! Kristin looked like a barbie/model (oh yeah…she is a model:) in her beautiful gown from Mia Bella Couture. And Chris…how daper he was….so handsome! The two picked the perfect spot for their intimate ceremony in the garden of Wolf Lakes Park They make such a beautiful couple! Thanks for picking me to capture your day!!!

With a classic motorcycle clasped to the back of Barbra and Anthony’s truck, the three of us headed to their engagement session at Lavender Hollow. It was hot out in the lavender fields during the session, but little attention was paid to the heat because Barbra and Anthony’s personalities were indeed vibrant and cool!While I was shooting the couple, I learned some very fun and quirky facts about the pleasurable pair and about other things as well. For example: -Stomping on an anthill doesn’t exactly encourage ants to leave.-There are many poses to cover up band-aids from uncomfortable shoes.-Anthony and Barbra both have a passion for motorcycles, quads, and dirt bikes-Attaching the motorcycle to the truck takes more effort than expected! Here are a few images from the session at Lavender Hollow. The engagement session was delightful. I look forward to their upcoming wedding!

Well…trying ot find the time to write seems to be a challenge. I have been blessed with lots of GREAT weddings this year! I hope to be able to post a little something on each of them when I can make the time! I was honored to be a part of Brianne and Roy’s wedding day. I met with Brianne about a year ago. We started talking about her wedding plans in Snelling Ca….yes Snelling! When she told me WHERE in Snelling I was sooooooooo excited! Brianne and Roy were getting married at the most amazing place-their ranch! I was very familiar with the location. While attending Merced College I worked Paul’s Place. I spent seven years getting to know all of the wonderful people that came in to visit and eat. Roy’s grandmother was one of my favorite characters! She would come in with her girl friends to chat, eat and have a little coffee. She was full of smiles and spunk! She loved her ranch and enjoyed sharing stories about it with all of Paul’s waitresses! She would have been full of smiles at their wedding! Brianne and Roy had a beautiful setting, cliffs, horses, green grass, clouds […]
